Hi OSPFers,

I was reading draft-ietf-ospf-hmac-sha-03.txt and i think its good and very readable.However, a small nit with the draft: All references to other draft sections are off by 1 - thus a reference to section 3 and 5 in section 5.1 should be 4 and 6 really. :-)

Its been around for a long time now and i have never seen any opposition/changes. Is there a reason why its not close to WG LC yet?

John

P.S.

It seems as Dave reflected some time back, that OSPF is lagging far behind IS-IS and RIP as these WGs
(i know there is none for RIP) have already come out with RFCs
extending ISIS/RIP for HMAC-SHA support, while OSPF is still struggling on.
